Where can I find a Scotland car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Scotland, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
Can I drive in Scotland with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
